Ro Khanna: Donald Trump’s Wrecking Ball & The Democrats' New Guard

from Impolitic with John Heilemann · host Audacy | Puck

John welcomes California Democratic congressman Ro Khanna to discuss a raft of headlines this week—from Donald Trump seeking $230 million in compensation from the Justice Department for its past investigations of him to his demolition of the East Wing of the White House to make space for a 90,000 square foot ballroom—that bolster Khanna’s argument that Trump and the GOP majority are running a government “of, by, and for the billionaires.” Khanna explains why focusing on MAGA corruption is his party's best path back to power; why he endorsed Zohran Mamdani when so many elected New York Democrats didn't; why he’s sticking with insurgent Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner despite the controversies swirling around him; and his unlikely (albeit limited) kinship with Marjorie Taylor Greene and Steve Bannon.
